I would lie to see the fabric first. Whole cloth quilts show great the decorative stitches, if the fabric is of a solid color or close to a solid. If the reason you don't want to cut it is because of the print, you may be able to follow the design printed to do the quilting, but need to add a border to give it the look of finished. Solid whole cloths don't need a border. Can we see the fabric first, Please?
